Fleetwood Mac Nightbird 1983

-

 


Tensions were known to run high in Fleetwood Mac but from that pressure we got musical diamonds. Between Mirage in 1982 to Tango in the Night in 1987 they did not record as Fleetwood Mac but most of them did record. Christine McVie recorded her self titled album in 1983, Stevie Nicks released The Wild Heart in June 1983, Mick Fleetwood's I'm Not Me came out in June 1983 and even though Lindsey Buckingham didn't have an album in 1983 he did release the single "Holiday Road" in June 1983.
Mick's album had Christine McVie on keyboards and vocals and Lindsey Buckingham on guitar, keyboards and vocals. I chose "I Want You Back" from that album which Lindsey co-wrote and sings lead, plus Stevie Nicks appears in the music video. 
From Christine's album I used "Ask Anybody" with Mick on drums, "Got a Hold on Me" and "The Smile I Live For" which both feature Lindsey doing backing vocals and lead guitar and "The Challenge" with backing vocals by Lindsey.
From Stevie I used "Sable on Blond"(with Mick on drums), "Nightbird" (which is her favorite song from the album), "If Anyone Falls" and "Stand Back".

WHAM! Sons of Jack and Albert 1990

  Wham! were huge in the 1980s. When they broke up George Michael's career soared. Even though Andrew Ridgeley was half of Wham! when I would mention his name people would ask "Who?". If I replied he was "the other one from Wham!" people understood. The same year Michael released L isten Without Prejudice Vol.1  Ridgeley released his solo album Son of Albert . I chose three of Ridgeley's songs for this: "Shake" (which was a single from the album), "Baby Jane" and "Red Dress" (which has Michael on backing vocals). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFoVCvBXRdUERbUvRqe2RNk&si=JrjyUkQfyxejE1Dl

Panic Room Nicole Kidman 2002

  Panic Room is another movie that could have been quite different looking than what we know today. Before Jodie Foster was cast in the led Nicole Kidman had already filmed for three weeks but had to leave because of an aggravated knee injury. Before she became from the tv series "Heroes", Hayden Panetierre was set to play the daughter but was replaced by Kristen Stewart before she made it big with Twilight . One other surprising bit of original casting is that Dwight Yoakam's role was originally offered to Tool's lead singer Maynard James Keenan. Director David Fincher had wanted him after directing Keenan in a music video.

Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Marilyn Monroe 1961

          It is hard to imagine the movie  Breakfast at Tiffany's  without Audrey Hepburn. Her image as Holly Golightly has been on posters, t-shirts and just about anything else you can buy. However when the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Truman Capote, heard that she going to be cast in an adaptation of his book he thought she was terribly miscast. He had wanted Marilyn Monroe to play his lead character. She was offered the role but was advised against it. A young Steve McQueen was offered the male lead but was unavailable. The role that I would like to see recast is Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi. Couldn't they have gotten someone more appropriate like Alec Guiness or Marlon Brando? The original director was to have been John Frankenheimer.      If they had gone with those original choices the film could have been quite different. I believe Hepburn was responsible for Givenchy designing her character's wardrobe. Henry Mancini was ...
